USA – New requirements for CRIBS

February 15, 2011

The new 16 CFR Parts 1219 and 1220 will introduce additional requirements for full size and non full size baby cribs. These new rules are based on ASTM F 1169–10, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for full-Size Baby Cribs and on ASTM F 406–10a, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Non-Full-Size Baby Cribs/Play Yards.

These standards have been significantly revised and the new version, among other requirements, will ban drop sides.
